Jaama has introduced a new function to its online Key2 Fleet Management system to help organisations ensure that drivers have their eyesight checked regularly ahead of the introduction of new laws.

The new regulations will be introduced in 2011 which will ensure every EU country must introduce compulsory eyesight tests by 2013.

According to research by Specsavers, fewer than half of employers have a policy in place to check the eyesight of professional drivers.

Jaama managing director Jason Francis said: “Regular eyesight tests for all drivers should be a feature of every employers’ occupational road risk management policy.
